📋 Builders: Interviews & Evidence
A fully interactive B1.1 Project-module speaking lesson from the Builders' Studio series. Teams gather evidence for their New Students' Guide by interviewing classmates about first-week memories, practising the B1 pivot in a live cycle: a present perfect opener (Have you ever felt lost?) followed by past-simple follow-ups (When did that happen? What did you do?). Part two is the interview toolkit — the interview cycle with encourager phrases (Really? Tell me more), and a From-Memory-to-Tip panel covering quotes, asking permission and turning a memory into useful advice. Ten B1 words (interview, quote, memory, tip, evidence, permission, follow-up, nervous, advice, settle in) come with full definitions and examples, and six get review flashcards. The 165-word reading is a studio scene starring Aylin, Marco, Priya and Sam collecting quotes, with seven hover-tooltip words. Practice offers eight contextualised gap-fills mixing perfect/past forms and lesson vocabulary with live feedback and hints; speaking gives five interview prompts and a model six-line dialogue; the writing task turns an interview into a short guide paragraph with a real quote (40–70 words) with a four-point checklist, live counter and auto-save; and an eight-question quiz mixes the interview skill with two reading-comprehension items, with per-question explanations, a result circle and saved progress.
